Model aircraft flying today; we sampled a few of the different parts of the NCC model flying syllabus, except the really easy or really hard stuff. The first stage that we did was the line control aircraft, where either a petrol or electrically powered model, flies around you in circles and with control it with using 2 wires. The next stage was RC modeling which is controlled remotely using radio signals. That was good fun, though unfortunately a tree crashed into it when I had my go. Bah.
After our go with those we saw a RC helicopter do its stuff. It was spinning around the sky, flipping and swerving, going upside down and flying backwards. We need to get our cadets doing this, it looks amazing.
In the afternoon we went down to Little India and walked half way to Chinatown before we realized that the directions we were given were probably designed for a different city. Never mind, we got there in the end.
Tomorrow's going to be a relaxing day, with the whole thing free and easy. I'm planning a trip to Sentosa, but we can do pretty much anything.
